Two README changes:

  1. The release-progress section moves from the top of the README into ## Measured, unchanged apart from its heading level (###). The unique-visitor-to-star conversion dropped after it went near the top; it stays lower until the 0.7.0 comparison with other tools. No link pointed at its anchor.
  2. The table's single size row becomes four rows that compare like with like. All four use the same harness, grader (Rule C near) and stored answers as the rest of the table.
0.6.5 0.6.7 0.6.8 0.6.9
Bytes per complete answer (everyday / large repos) 22.5 KB / 182 KB 14.8 KB / 123 KB 16.5 KB / 91 KB 15.1 KB / 60 KB
Bytes per required item delivered (everyday) 1.7 KB 1.4 KB 1.7 KB 1.7 KB
Newly complete (everyday): questions, median size 50, 4.7 KB +31, 4.6 KB +31, 16.8 KB +18, 11.9 KB
Size change, questions already complete (everyday) — +4 % 0 % +1 %

The old row, the median size over all 163 answers, rose every release (4.8 → 10.6 KB). That was mostly because short partial or empty answers became complete ones, and because later releases answer harder questions. A paragraph below the table gives examples: a one-definition lookup at 3.2 KB, against how-it-works, all-callers and message-flow questions at 11.5–16.8 KB. Note: the median over complete answers alone also misleads, because the set of complete questions changes between releases.

README.md only. Stacked on #474 (the Trendshift badge move); once #474 merges, this PR's diff is its own commits.

The badge sat below the release-progression table, under "Working toward
the best code helper for agents". It now follows the line under the
"Rip'n Fast. Fewer Tokens. Better Code." heading, where a first-time
visitor sees it.

The row was the median over all 163 everyday answers, which rose every
release (4.8 -> 10.6 KB) mostly because short partial or empty answers
became complete ones. The median complete answer tells the story the row
is there for: 4.7 KB (0.6.5), 3.1 KB (0.6.7), 5.4 KB (0.6.8), 6.1 KB
(0.6.9); on the 50 questions both 0.6.5 and 0.6.7 answered completely it
fell from 4.7 KB to 2.5 KB. Same harness, grader (Rule C near) and
stored answers as the rest of the table.

making the 50 questions completed by both releases the subject of the 4.7 KB to
2.5 KB change; distinguish this matched-subset median from the table’s median,

- Line 38: Update the “Median complete-answer size (everyday)” table row to

50, 81, 112, and 129 for the respective values.

Walkthrough

The README moves the Trendshift repository badge near the introduction. It replaces the median everyday answer-size metric with complete-answer sizes and revises the explanation of the reported values.

Explanation

The title identifies the README release table and its size-related rows, which are real parts of the changes. It does not state the main metric change precisely, but it remains related and sufficiently descriptive.

…nge in the note

The complete-answer median still compared different question sets
(questions that became complete later are harder and longer), and its
'halved in 0.6.7' sentence was a median-of-sizes artefact: on the 50
questions complete in both 0.6.5 and 0.6.7 the median per-question size
ratio is 1.04 (30 larger, 9 smaller). Replace it with bytes per required
item delivered (all 163 answers, partial credit counted: 1,652 / 1,381 /
1,695 / 1,706 B) and state the paired change on questions complete in
both releases (median +4 %, 0 %, +1 %).

@joyful-ii-V-I joyful-ii-V-I changed the title README: show the median complete-answer size in the release table README: size rows that compare like with like (bytes per required item; paired size change) Oct 30, 2026
…already complete

Owner: one size row cannot show that later releases answer harder
questions that need more bytes. Add a newly-complete row (questions a
release answered completely for the first time, with their median size:
50 at 4.7 KB, +31 at 4.6 KB, +31 at 16.8 KB, +18 at 11.9 KB) and the
paired size change on questions already complete (+4 %, 0 %, +1 %),
beside bytes per complete answer and bytes per required item delivered.
Same harness, grader and stored answers as the rest of the table.

Examples are question texts from the in-sample S1 set with their answer
size at the release that first answered them completely: a one-definition
lookup (3.2 KB, already complete in 0.6.5) against how-it-works,
all-callers and message-flow questions first complete in 0.6.8/0.6.9
(11.5-16.8 KB).

Owner: the unique-visitor-to-star conversion dropped after the table went
near the top of the README; keep it lower until the 0.7.0 comparison with
other tools. The section moves unchanged (heading demoted to ### under
'## Measured'); no link pointed at its anchor.

Disposition for the commits after the reviewed head bb7c5ac: b863647, 8db43e2, 57171aa, 794e3ea.

Both CodeRabbit comments on bb7c5ac are outdated. b863647 and 8db43e2 replace the "Median complete-answer size" row with four size rows, and 57171aa rewrites the sentence below the table, so neither suggested edit applies to the current README.
